As the year 2014 comes to an end, the emotions are some overwhelming to think about. We all share happy and sad moments every year but this particular year has had an overwhelming effect on me and the way I view life, and the surrounding circles of my life. I have had some wonderful memories in 2014, and as happy and blessed as we truly are there are still those heartaches inside that well always feel due to the loss of some truly dear friends over this past year. 2014: Late March / Early April was probably one of the most devastating times of our lives. I simply cannot express the ways it has affected us, changed the way we think, feel, or even act. We continue to try and pick up and move on as we know we all have to somehow do. This was not and still is not easy at all. Loosing such a dear and wonderful friend whose memories will always be in our hearts truly was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. The pain my husband and I have felt, we know can’t be compared to that of Bobby’s amazing wife, three children, and mother. We can only accept that God has a plan & move on daily to fulfil whatever that plan may be for each of us. Later on into the fall we lost another dear friend. After a long and hard battle with cancer she passed on, leaving three beautiful children behind. Words cant express what a wonderful woman she was. We are happy that she is finally pain free, and the battle is over for her, but we miss her so much and our hearts break daily for those amazing yet strong children just down the street. I’ve also lost two family members this past year, and have some really wonderful FB friends that have lost very dear family at young & older ages. It’s so heartbreaking when a young life is taken, after battles with health problems. We have to somehow keep the faith, and do our best to “Cherish every moment we have one earth with the ones we have next to us”. This leads to one of my New Year’s Resolutions. (Cherishing Every Moment) 2015 New Year Resolution: Over the past few years, I’ve had my moments where I realized Social Media had taken too much of my time, and taken allot from me in certain circumstances. I’ve made short commitments to remove myself from FaceBook , once for a three month no log on at all period, once for a two week no posting period, and then once just to “slack” on my postings and tried to spend more spare time reading my Bible. All three times were temporary, and I ended up back on social media of course.. Although we read our bibles, lord knows we don’t read them near as much as we could, or should. If I didn’t check messages and postings every morning when I wake , I figure I could get entire book chapters read of important messages from wonderful authors , that could teach me more about life, better things ,instead of what the facebook world is up to. I’m 36 but not grown, I have allot still to learn, and If I learn something new every day I am blessed for it. This weighs on me, because we have to ask ourselves what matters in life? How much happiness could we be missing out on with the time spent on social media? What does it truly accomplish? How much LIFE are we missing while reading about everyone else’s? Anyway, I know this has to be questions that every mature woman and man asks’ themselves so we aren’t alone in that. I can only answer for myself though, and aside from the normal (Weight Loss) goals of the New Year, I think one of my New Year’s Resolutions may be to disconnect from the social media world “Allot More this coming year”. Will I deactivate? Not sure, but maybe eventually. Will I slack way down? Yes most definitely. I hope all my friends know I love each of you, and you all have your own special meaning to me. My phone number and address are still the same. And I am sure I will still be available through FB messaging. Just may not hear much out of me on daily posts, comments, and such, and forgive me if I don’t keep up with what everyone has going on in their lives. Of course, I’m always wishing everyone the best of happiness and health. I received a wonderful Christmas gift that I am excited about reading. A new Woman’s Daily Devotional that starts on Jan 1st 2015. I can’t wait to start it. .. With all the many good times, hard times, the loss, & the gain we are now winding down 2014 knowing its all a part of life and life is a learning growing process of who we are and who we want to become. We made it through, and we are blessed and very thankful. With all my rambling, I don’t want to forget to mention there were Many Great things in 2014 of course. We’ve spent lots of wonderful time with family gatherings, and friends, and have tons of amazing memories from 2014 , and even got some great news that this coming March 2015 we will become Grandparents. What a Joy that will be! I cannot wait to see our precious Addison Grace. Robert and I both have March Birthdays, and our Marriage Anniversary will also be in March, so having another Big March Event will be perfect for the New Year “2015”. I wish you all a Wonderful New Year, with many blessings & happy memories. HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ Hugs
